A George III mahogany, ebony banded and boxwood inlaid breakfront side table attributed to Gillows
Footnotes
The ebony banding to the top of the projecting corners is handled in the same way as on a mahogany secretaire and bookshelf made by Gillows in June 1792 for a North Lancashire family. On this commission these distinctive projecting columns are referred to as 'tower corners', (see S.Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, Suffolk, 2008, Vol II, p.24, pl.555, 556 & 557). The cabinet illustrated by Stuart also utilises the same handle pattern although with the addition of a medallion to the centre. The same design is also reproduced as one of Gillows standard handle patterns in S.Stuart ibid., p.335, pl.b.
